Article Predictions. Mostly General Discussion. But there's definately some Predictions scattered throughout.

Bummer. But I did get to see Store Championship kits, so I'll call it a win on the week.

Some pretty cool stuff.

I'm going to One-Up you here, Today, even.

Destiny just got Errata effectively pre-day of release.

... and...

Context provided responses. They give the WHY...

For example:


SPIRIT OF REBELLION

OUTER RIM SMUGGLER (46) Should read: “The first time each round you play the last card from your hand, gain 1 resource.”

Context: Two of this card could generate countless resources with Return of the Jedi.

Don't believe me? :D

It really is amazing how we are just pooped on

At least I get a Runewars article to digest....

Just to put it in perspective, but Destiny is at the same time FFG's greatest likelihood of current success and also it's potentially biggest disaster. (In my opinion at least.)

It makes sense to me that they would have more staff allocated to working on it.

As an armada player, it's frustrating. As a logical thinker, I get it.

Yeah I totally see this too. I think Armada is in a state of "Maintain" while Destiny and RuneWars are in a state of "Sell the Tar out of it." X-Wing will always be in this state as well. More resources = More articles.

It's the early well written FAQ I have an issues with.

You aren't maintaining a game after the crap show we just went through. You're treading water with the player base's patience.

Agreed. Maybe "Treading water" would be a better term than "Maintain." I wish they could devote more to Armada.

which is weird cause... Armada seems to be doing pretty well sales wise. With people from X-Wing flying over... I don't understand why FFG refuses to support their product more.

Armada is a second-tier product. It's stable, it's pretty popular as minis wargames go (behind only X-Wing and 40K for sales), but it's not a huge cash cow and neither is it shiny and new and in need of promotion or else it may die (like Rune Wars or Destiny or L5R). I'm not surprised we get less attention overall but when it comes to something like an FAQ that takes 6 months, it's gone past embarrassing to a little aggravating.

Hey, it looks like someone finally realized that they forgot to post the last Wave 9 Imperial Assault article before they release it next week.

I maintain they were spoiled too quickly, too soon.

And because of that, our Article(s) are likely to still be a good couple of weeks out.

Star Wars: Rebellion got an expansion.

Nice to see them getting an expansion gives me a reason to buy it now. Kind of what I did with xcom.

On another note I feel like were getting an article new week since IA got an article and Xwing got the C-roc along with a few briefings.

Excellent. Trying to make an expansion for Rebellion is what got me into Armada. I bought one of each squadron pack to add new researchable fighters. That led to me trying out Armada just to see what it was like and I haven't played Rebellion since. It'll be nice to have a reason to dust it off and put it back on the table again. I'd also love to build some type of campaign around a combo of Rebellion/Armada.

Double IA announcement articles.

Now we just need an X-Wing article and Armada's transformation to the dark side will be complete.
